There are a million reasons why Hillary Clinton should never be allowed to sit in the Oval Office, but the fact that she actually seems to believe that she lives in the “most brutal” political system on Earth should serve as “Exhibit A.”

Hillary is so tone deaf and down right Stupid, about so many things.

Gandhi, the only woman to hold the office of prime minister of India, was assassinated in 1984. Bhutto, the prime minister of Pakistan, was shot and killed following a political rally in 2007.

Several other countries have a history of violent treatment of women, including against those involved in politics.

According to The Washington Examiner on May 23, at least 10 Afghan women, including politicians and law enforcement officials, have been killed for their promotion of women’s rights. The list of those killed includes Safia Ama Jan, the women’s affairs director for the Afghan government, who was shot by suspected members of the Taliban in 2006.

Hanifa Safi, the regional head of the Women's Affairs Ministry for Laghman Province, Afghanistan, and an avid promoter of women's rights, was killed in 2012.

Fareeda "Kokikhel" Afridi, a 25-year-old women’s rights activist and the director of the Society for Appraisal and Women Empowerment in Rural Areas in Pakistan, was shot and killed in 2012.

interview out to attack Hillary Clinton,it's also an extreme right wing site that's known for doing this very thing to all liberals.It's a crazy freeper site that cheers on the extremist,racist right wing groups in Europe and uses headlines like this: Day of Reckoning: "Barack, Secular Heretic, Uses Constitution as a Diaper".It doesn't belong here,find another line of attack.

I didn't read over some of the other topics on the site, which I probably should have. Anyway, the Paulie interview should be out soon and we can see if Hillary's words here have been manipulated.

8. Maybe you should have waited until the interview was out before pouncing on this.

I realize that isn't as fun or easy, but ethics come into play here.

Sorry that Hillary is burying herself with her own foolish words and embarassing her fan club -- don't take kicks at me and question My ethics - look to Hillary and hers.

Have at it. Otherwise, I'd suggest avoiding sound bites from extended conversations.

12. Yes. That's another deadly & shameful kind of brutality.

A more silent, under the wire, in closed chambers type of brutality. Considering this used to be a functioning democracy. A brutal slow death of a thriving Nation. The Oligarchs have stolen what was ours & now charge us high dollars to exist within in it.
That's kinda brutal.

has a right to say what is and isn't brutal...were you asleep during the 1990's? It amuses me how some people here seem to think Obama has been the only Dem Prez targeted by the right with ridiculous, unfounded claims.
